The Secret to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Glow

share it

A single shimmery product—like highlighter, eye shadow, or lip gloss—can be easy to pull off, but if you want to create a glowing look with a handful of sparkly cosmetics, you’ll probably need some direction. We suggest taking a cue from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who—with the help of makeup artist Lauren Andersen—did shimmer right this weekend.

To prep Huntington-Whiteley for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 2013 Art +Film Gala this week, Andersen started with a dewy foundation and concealer, then dusted Hourglass’ Ambient Lighting Powder ($45) in Radiant Light on the top of the model’s cheekbones. (Lightly dust it over your collarbone and shoulders, too!) For a bright-eyed effect, Andersen used Avon’s True Color Eye Shadow Quad ($6) in Chocolate Sensation, applying the shimmery champagne color in the inner corners of Huntington-Whiteley’s eyes and below her bottom lashline. The trick is to keep the pale shade in the inner corners, so Andersen used the deeper hues for the outside of the model’s lids.
